To solve this one, you have to notice why the other possibiliities fail and only one move works. It fits together nicely.

alternate mate in 2 on this?

Can someone tell me why this isn't mate? Qa6+ forces b2, rf1++. Mate in 2 also, weak puzzle.

ethahburns8,

Qa6+ Ba2 (you said b2, but I think you meant a2)
Rf1+ b1=Q (or whatever you want to promote to)!

The black pawns are moving down, get it?

ethan it's good to ask questions but before having a awnser calling a puzzle weak isn't...

as said the pawn would move in front of it since the forced bishop move clears it's way...

also you should know that you can enter a different sollution so that you can try it yourself if you think you have one

i can't figure out what's wrong with Kc3 as the first move....anyone?

aahh...it would allow ...e2 and ...Bxc2 and stuff....i guess....

interesting.

slouch just to be safe I'll run it down...

if you move Kc3 e3 would block the queen to get to a6 and your own king would obstruct your rook from getting to a3

bishop has nothing to do with it (as far as I can tell)
